places but they were induced to abandon him also and as he persisted in dolne doing v ft hat the men thought was an injustice it was waa decided to send birds sarles barles to all the other bricklayers brick layers in the city and ask them to loin join in a sympathetic strike the little brown man Is coming to tile the front PRISON LABOR thirteen years sigo ago a company wanted a dam on
